By the way, many plain looking people can be knock-out gorgeous if they take better care of themselves. It's all about what's important to you.

Meaning they are seen to be physically beatiful but wiothout much intelligence because of the time spent making themselves to look like they do.This may be true in some cases, but for a lot of women, being attractive means they are EXPECTED by everyone to look like a beauty queen 24 hours a day. They get ridiculed and criticised if they appear even slightly normal for even a second. Lord forbid they wake up with morning hair and looking less then perfect when they have a cold or a bout of Conjunctivitus.And at bars men are afriad because women of beauty are percieved as high-maintenance and judgmental. This is usually because of personal experience in our school years when no good looking girl would ever bee seen with anyone less that completely handsome. And if you even dared to ask them to a dance or to the movies, you would be laughed at and humiliated.Most of these women get out into the world and discover that beauty will get you in, but won't help you stay there. They discover that the men they once though of a hot are relaly self-centred tool-bags and the desirable men they now fancy are to afraid of the rejection they once recieved by women like them to seek their company.Now those who are less attractive have to deal with the fact that no matter what they do, jobs, relationships, and friends and benefits and perks will all be given to someone less qualified but more attractive.Its just the way the world works. People are programmed to be attracted to those seen as attractive. And physical beauty is prized out there in business, especially when you are in the public eye.Thats why less attractive people have to be extra specially talented at whatever it is that they do. They need to outshine attractive people in personality and intelligence. Its they onl way they can get ahead.Less attractive people have a stigma as well. That they don't need sexual release or have sexual desires and urges to rival that of people of beauty.In the end, we are all human and humans like different things. Someone might find Rosie O'Donnel attractive and be confused that others don't.In the end, if we can just skip our differences and go right to the similarities, perhaps we'd all mingle a little better.Flynn 24

Alot of times, people automatically assume you are going to be stupid based on how you look, and at times they speak to you accordingly. People are more inclined to give you "negative" comments than positive compliments based on how you look.
Myself, the only time men approach me to speak to me is either if they are really really drunk or overly strange creepy stalker type. Alot of my friends who are models are single - simply because they cant get dates! And let us face it, girls do not like to chase but to be chased! If we go out with our friends, gauranteed the girls who do not fit into the "model looks" get more attention and more guys hit on them.
When I was 18 I got a job in an office and I was very much unhappy. The girls were extremely bitchy to me and constantly saying nasty things behind my back. And if I was ever seen speaking to guys, it automatically meant I was sleeping with him. So in the end, most of the times I sat at my desk speaking to no one!
So most definately no, supposed "really good looking" people do not have it easier at all. There are far more stigmas and preconceived notions.
Good luck

 Unfortunately, good-looking people are at an advantage initially. I think that Obama, for example, has some very good qualities and hopefully he will change the country for the better. However, I know that the fact that he is a handsome man didn't hurt him in the elections. There are women out there who vote with their ovaries, and he is a handsome man.
However, that doesn't mean that less than gorgeous people have no chance of being successful. Nor does it mean that physical attractiveness is more important than attributes such as talent. For example, Stevie Ray Vaughan was NOT attractive but I wish and wish I could play the guitar like that (I practice my fingers bloody trying). The music industry is more superficial now, but you see my point anyway.
Furthermore, even though studies have shown that some features are universally regarded as beautiful, whether someone is good-looking or not is an opinion.

I am just there hurt and alone and rejected. It isn't fair, I have to compete with good looking and younger girls then me. I can't do it, it stresses me out to crying my eyes out for weeks on end.

 Unfortunately yes, It does. But only at first. I mean obviously if you are in a profession that requires you to be seen by alot of people on a daily basis like tv or something then the more physically attractive you are the better, at first. But if you are beautiful and a moron then you wont get too far probably. If you are maybe not so hot but you have some smarts and skills you will be just fine. Plus I guarantee you that everyone you see, pretty or not so pretty, have there own set of problems.

 Yes, there have been scientific studies pertaining to looks which state that good-looking people tend to have a slightly higher self esteem, intelligence, etc..
But that doesn't mean there no hope for anyone not so well-endowed. A person is a person, even in this shallow perfection-obsessed society, and everyone has their own niche or talent.
